Key Contributors Toward the Chiefs Playoff Chances

The Kansas City Chiefs' offense runs through superstar QB Patrick Mahomes. In fact, odds for Mahomes to win the MVP are a great bet every season. Mahomes has weapons like TE Travis Kelce and WRs Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. In addition to bringing back Brown and Smith-Schuster, Kansas City re-signed RB Kareem Hunt. 

The Chiefs also worked on their offensive line, placing their non-exclusive franchise tag on guard Trey Smith and trading guard Joe Thuney to Chicago for a 2026 fourth-round pick. The Chiefs also signed OT Jaylon Moore. Defensively, Kansas City has a strong unit, led by Chris Jones, Trent McDuffie and Nick Bolton. With the Chiefs re-signing Charles Omenihu and Nazeeh Johnson, along with adding LB Cole Christiansen and DE Malik Herring, their defense is expected to be even stronger in 2025.
